So I saw med dude yesterday. He's such a kind, empathetic person. What a joy it is to finally have a prescriber who isn't a whack-job. He has prescribed lithium. He said that while Lamictal is helpful the gold standard for bipolar disorder is lithium, as Lamictal is not quite the mood stabilizer that lithium is. I'll start taking it tonight.
If anyone has any lithium experiences to share I'd sure appreciate hearing them.

Thanks for the good news re there being a med dude who isn't a whack-job. I needed to hear this.
Someone did suggest Lamictal and also Lithium to me. (that person wasn't a whack job) I hope you get some answers.
I'm sorry about the heat. Wishing for cooler days and soon!
